Some states allow the dealer to provide documentation as validated in their state, however CA requires a vehicle inspection (mostly just to verify VIN):

The vehicle must be inspected by an authorized DMV employee, law enforcement officer, or a licensed vehicle verifier. These inspections are most easily obtained by bringing the vehicle to the nearest DMV. There is no charge for the inspection. For faster service, make an Appointment(s) .
Having said that, Heuberger won't assume you're in CA or any other state. If they sell out of state, they prepare one batch of paperwork so it's easier for them to conduct business, which is (IMO) the right way to go about it.
